My head is not being nice to me. I’ve had a headache since Sunday morning. I’ve been slightly nauseated since Sunday morning. I’m not pregnant, for those of you who associate any and all forms of nausea with pregnancy. Yesterday, I went to the chiropractor and got cracked. He said, as I suspected, that my neck was way whacked. Actually, what he really said, or rather exclaimed quite loudly was, “WHOOA!!!” I knew something was up. Unfortunately, once I get that bad, it takes awhile to return to normal. So here I am, hating life.
I’m annoyed I had to miss the knitting group last night. I haven’t been there in awhile, and was really looking forward to it. Sorry Hayden. Didn’t mean to tease.
Before I decided to vent about my physical condition, I was going to host a little poll as to what the title of this entry should be.
A.- I am weak, and I succumbed. Are you disappointed?
or
B.- I’m learning. Check this out!
Wanna know why?
That’s right, I bought Olivia a coat. Isn’t it cute? It was 40% off of an already marked down price. So I think it totaled about 60% off. It is big enough to use next year as well. It cost less than three of the skeins of Donegal Tweed I was going to buy to attempt making one. I think this was a very good decision. The kid is happy and warm. I have avoided unnecessary stress, and the checkbook is all the better for it.
As for the Hayden-along…
Susan knit the first Hayden that I’m aware of that was gifted to a man. (Now that I say that, it seems like someone else’s husband was interested in one. Right, it was Lisa’s husband). Anyway, Susan’s brother, who looks pretty darned cute, got a nice Hayden for Christmas. Yay, Susan!
Donna mentioned in the comments recently that she is working on hers. We send well wishes.
Also, I happened across a blog yesterday who has made an impressive Hayden Scarf! Well, she really made a slipped garter stitch scarf, since I claim nothing for the invention of the stitch, but it was cool, just the same. (Loved the fringe).
Any other Haydens happening out there?

hey, i’m sorry you aren’t feeling well. i hope that resting over the weekend will do the trick.
and i love the coat, love it! i wish i had a coat like that now…hmmm….mental note to self… anyways, it’s cute, it’s big enough to wear for a while, and if it’s less then the yarn, no loss.

Hooray for Snap, Crackle, Popping! My chiro/pt hates it when I call the adjustments “cracks.” Hee hee hee! Seriously though, I hope you continue to feel better. Be good to yourself! =)

Hmmm…Headache since Sunday… could it be something in our air?
The coat is fabulous! Good job and Olivia, you look adorable, Dear!
I cast on for my third Hayden last night, this time in teal greens and white.

Sorry you’re still feeling crummy. 🙁
I love knitting as much as the next girl (more probably) but I was going to suggest just buying a coat. So many great deals this time of year. I usually buy a this year, next year and the year after sizes when I find one that’s really good and a great deal. But then, I’m crazy.

Hope you are feeling better, and I’m very glad you bought the coat. Way to get a grip.
